The whole branding/labeling thing is a bit of a racket I guess. Who is actually designing these clothes? The GIII company is a pretty large umbrella, would be hard to avoid them all if I wanted to. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/interesting-fashion-news#post-1804498 Tue, 02 May 2017 20:40:35 +0000 Sal 1804498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shows the nonsense about branding doesn't it! I guess something has yoherone with the stock so I support rebranding or whatever makes it sell- or be used rather than go to landfill.</p> <p>I believe Ivanka clothing is doing well in China. Your name can be your biggest asset or your biggest liability can't it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/interesting-fashion-news#post-1804463 Tue, 02 May 2017 18:35:01 +0000 Diana 1804463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know, I've seen in the past what appeared to be the identical item from two different brands, and always thought it was because they were made in the same factory for different labels. But now I'm wondering if it was actually a case of relabeling for whatever reason. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/interesting-fashion-news#post-1804439 Tue, 02 May 2017 17:33:33 +0000 kkards 1804439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>so, this piqued my interest, and i did some goggling....and here's what confuses me....it doesn't look like G-III, the company that owns the IT license owns the Adrienne Vittadini label. the AV label appears to be owns by a private company called ASG-SLG (which also outs Judith Leiber bags)</p> </p> <p>BTW if you are interested, i've attached a link to the other brands that G-III does own</p> <p><a href="https://www.g-iii.com/index.php/divisions/" rel="nofollow">https://www.g-iii.com/index.php/divisions/</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/interesting-fashion-news#post-1804339 Tue, 02 May 2017 13:36:20 +0000 Janet 1804339@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I didn't realize that changing labels on merchandise was a common practice, and considering that "designers" are really all too often really just "licensers" (being allowed to put their name on something someone else designed), I'm not surprised. They are trying to get some revenue out of a line that saw flat sales by rebranding. I guess I can't blame them. I am not attracted to any of what I see from either of those labels, anyway. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/interesting-fashion-news#post-1804306 Tue, 02 May 2017 11:13:33 +0000 Anonymous 1804306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe they should be more careful who they do business with. I don't feel sorry for merchants when a certain clothing line doesn't sell. It's a calculated risk they take. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/interesting-fashion-news#post-1804305 Tue, 02 May 2017 11:05:06 +0000 kkards 1804305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>not suprised, since most department stores didn't announce that they were dropping the line until spring, and the spring orders would have been written 6-9 months before, the majority of the spring goods would have already been produced...so something had to be done with the clothes. they could therefore, either destroy the clothes (and then get deal with the blow back of all that "stuff" going to landfills), send it to 3rd world/developing countrys (and then deal with the blow back of "dumping" on these countrys and cutting into the economies of these countries) or changing the labels (and dealing with the blow back of that)....so what to do?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/interesting-fashion-news#post-1804241 Tue, 02 May 2017 04:44:12 +0000 rachylou 1804241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They should have printed new labels for Paula Deen... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/interesting-fashion-news#post-1804232 Tue, 02 May 2017 04:11:39 +0000 cindysmith 1804232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, what little of her stuff I've seen is so bland and boring and referential (if not downright copycat) that it could easily be passed off as another label. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/interesting-fashion-news#post-1804145 Mon, 01 May 2017 22:13:45 +0000 Carla 1804145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i don't know who carried the IT line in Canada, but these days 'Winners' has racks of the stuff, whereas 6 months ago it wasn't in-store. I've wondered if discounters would be tempted to cut the label? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/interesting-fashion-news#post-1804036 Mon, 01 May 2017 18:28:21 +0000 Mochi 1804036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.glamour.com/story/ivanka-trump-clothing-relabeled-adrienne-vittadini">http://www.glamour.com/story/i.....-vittadini</a></p> <p>I'm reading conflicting sources that this was done with and without the approval of the original designer.&nbsp; </p>
